[Trainer-Talk] Windows 8.1 mail app question

[David Goldfield]

OK, from what I'm reading you can, if you really want to, remove the 
built-in Windows 10 apps which have no "uninstall" option. You have to 
do it from Windows Power Shell with admin rights. However, this isn't 
really that necessary as it's better to just unpin it from the start 
menu if you really want to hide it, at least somewhat, from the user. 
Personally, I'd rather install an email program they're comfortable in 
using and put it on the desktop, pin it to the taskbar if they want that 
or pin it to the right side of the start menu so it's very easily accessed.
